The unorthodox tail serial is a corruption of the USAAF serial 43-17228 which would normally be displayed as 17228 or 0-17228, however similar things happened back in the day too.

The North Star was a Canadian development of the Douglas C-54/DC-4, with some features of the DC-6. This airframe was manufactured in 1948 by Canadair Limited in Montreal, Quebec and was delivered to the RCAF in March of that year. It spent its entire career with No. 426 Squadron. It is the only surviving North Star. The plane is still undergoing renovation, but so far it doesn't look any better than in previous photos.
